Restoration of All Things by The Father. Luke 15:11-24
Luke 15:11-12 And He said, “A certain man [Father] had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father,’ Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ And he divided his wealth between them.” NASB
July 2021 is a special month. It is a Month of Acknowledging Your Father and coming to Him with boldness and a request for all that belongs to you or for the restoration of all things that you ever lost. It is a month of come back, a month of return to the Father. This month is a month of taking back all that belongs to you, everything the Father has kept in store for you. Make up your mind and say to yourself, I will miss nothing!
Realize that all that the Father has here on earth belongs to us! Anything we don’t take possession of and put into right use will be lost or wasted by the devil and his team.
Therefore, this month you must make up your mind to lose or leave nothing for the enemy to use for his evil works.
All that The Father Has Belongs to Us!
Understand that God is our Father. And we are His sons if we are born again and in Christ.
John 1:12-13 says “But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Now we are children and sons of God! 1John 3:2
Romans 8:15-17 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” Galatians 4:6-7
All that Our Father owns belong to us as His sons and Heirs!
Two [2] kinds of God’s sons that Must Take Back All that Belongs to them
- God’s Sons that are Yet to Get and Must be Given their portion of the Father’s Estate
Jesus Christ taught us in Luke 15:11-12 how to take fully all that belongs to us: Ask the Father!
Luke 15:11-12 And He said, “A certain man [Father] had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father,’ Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ And he divided his wealth between them.” NASB
Luke 11:5-13 And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; ‘for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; “and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? “I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs. “So, I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? “Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
What the son asked the Father was given to him.
This month, whatever you shall ask the Father shall be given to you.
Therefore, ask GREAT things and you shall receive that your joy may be full.
- God’s sons that lost all they were Given and Must be Restored All things
Jesus Christ taught us in Luke 15:11-24 how to take full Restoration of all that belongs to us: Return to the Father and He will forgive and Restore You!
Luke 15:11-24 And He said, “A certain man had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father,’ Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ And he divided his wealth between them. “And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living. “Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be in need. “And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. “And he was longing to fill his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him. “But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger! ‘I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men. “‘ “And he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him, and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him, and kissed him. “And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ And they began to be merry. [NASB]
Job lost all things yet Our Heavenly Father Gave Him Back All he lost. How?
Job 22:21-25 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou layup gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
Job 42:10-17 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also, the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold. So, the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. So, Job died, being old and full of days.
If Job lost all things and returned to God and was gloriously restored double of all he was initially given. Then this month, your testimony is sure. All you need to do is to return to The Father.
Hosea 14:2-7 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so, will we render the calves of our lips. Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
In John 3:35 Jesus said, “The Father loves the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.”
Today, everything Jesus owns belongs to us because we are His Joint-heirs. Therefore, Ask for all that belongs to you or to be restored all you ever lost and the Father will do so for you!
Welcome to July 2021, Our Month of Restoration of All Things by The Father.
